Just starting to get the 1/10 '67 Miss Bardahl wet. So far for COG adjustments I've been adjusting the lipos (2 x 2S1P 5000)forward and back in the nose (so far boat seems to do best with the packs pretty far forward in the nose). I have them placed side by side in the nose, at the mid-line of the boat. Would there be any benefit is pushing them away from each other towards the sponsons or should I keep 'em next to each other in the middle?

Also, If I wanted to back off a bit on the speed, do you think an x445 or m445 would be a better option? I'm thinking the x for the lift... (did six 2 min runs, had 2 blowovers with x447 prop, proboat 1500kv motor)
